No idea - but I doubt there is. I looked at doing it for ClipView - but the
Win clipboard is different from the OS/2 one, although a lot of Win* API calls
are the same these are not. You would either need two independent source trees
or one with a zillion ifdefs :-)

As ever, Google is your friend.

I've never programmed for windows, but it doesn't look all that
complicated. It would seem it would essentially amount to opening a
text file, appending the date, triggering the paste mechanism to also
append and closing the file. An over simplification, no doubt. Maybe I
should try a DOS version in PowerBASIC.
